but they keep coming back year after year an enjoy themselves
there must be some perverse social dynamic involved on this, same for some guys i know who only go to Koh Lanta or others who only go in Bali (and of course in the same hotel, same restaurants).
yeah probably they would go back even if another Tsunami flood the whole of phuket, it's simply irrational.
You're kind of stuck in a mindset of seeing things in terms of what YOU want, and don't seem to want to think about what most tourists want.
where's my like button
Outdoor activities include;
World class diving, water sking, Hiking, sightseeing, fishing, parasailing, golf, horseback riding, atv rentals, swimming, Kayaking
Great dining from the street vendors up to 5 star restaurants
Phuket offers something for everyone and contrary to your opinion it is reasonably priced
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Yes, it is reasonably priced. I can't think of anything that's cheaper in Malaysia than phuket.

tourists can do all of these things in soooo many other places in Thailand and elsewhere, where the water is actually cleaner and where everything is also cheaper and where the locals are actually friendlier and where there's not taxi/tuktuk mafia.
they still go in Phuket because either they've never been there and they're curious to see what the fuss is all about or just because they're lazy asses and like many others stick for 20 yrs in the same fucking hotel in the same shitty place.
well if they like Phuket so much who am i to judge ? to each his own but i rest my case.
